Abstract

This work considers the optimal control of multibody systems being actuated with control forces which impact the system's motion directly. The goal is to find a dynamically feasible trajectory of states and controls leading from an initial to a desired final state, while minimizing an objective function. The optimal control problem is solved by using a direct transcription method, i.e., boundary conditions and a discrete version of the equations of motion serve as constraints for the minimization of a cost function with respect to the discrete state and control trajectory. Here, a particular time stepping scheme, an energy momentum integrator based on discrete derivatives is used. Corresponding to a constrained formulation of multibody systems, we develop an energy momentum consistent discrete force formulation that fits into the energy momentum integrator. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
